"Life-like" is a bit of stretch, don't you think? I know early studies suggested robots would be more acceptable to a wide range of potential consumers if they were life-like, but I think we're past that stage now. Give me a bot that can actually do something useful. Looking like a human doll, walking and making bad facial expressions just doesn't do it for me anymore.

Why bother with robots when nature has already created one known as "man" Although interesting and a test of human ingenuity it's a waste of time and money. There's also the BIG risk that once they've advanced enough they'll destroy humanity... It's inevitable.

"Frankly, there's nothing worse (aside from death, global famine, nuclear disaster and all-round armageddon) than seeing players in the UFO field fawning all over their peers at conferences as they seek acceptance into the ufological sand-pit by saying the 'right thing' to the 'right people.' Thankfully, there's none of that in Mac's world."
